Super Eagles defender Bruno Onyemaechi has disclosed that his topmost priority is to always secure a spot with the senior national team.
Onyemaechi, who was part of the Super Eagles squad that featured against South Africa in a 2026 World Cup qualifier, told Brila FM that playing regularly for his club helps him to secure a spot in the senior national team.
The Olympiakos star also expressed delight at winning two trophies with the club despite trying to adapt to a new environment.
“The most important thing for me is to get more game time because if you don’t play much, it’s very difficult to be in the national team, and you always want to represent your country, so that’s my focus,” the 26-year-old said in an interview with Brila.

“It’s been great. For me, it’s one of my biggest achievements to go to that type of historic club and win two trophies with them.
“I was really happy, and I’m looking forward to more. The culture there and from where I came from [Boavista] is quite different.
“But the most important thing is that you’re at a bigger club, the more pressure you have. You need to win the league. So I will say the pressure here is higher than that of Portugal,” Onyemaechi concluded

@CS Did you witness the performance of this guy at the fixtures of SE recently. He is part of the horrible first leg against Rwanda offering nothing and horrific second half against SA. After Bassey switched to CB this boy called Bruno offered nothing offensively unlike Bassey who pushed the team forward from LB. Defensively he is also a liability putting us under pressure.
Please I’m using this medium to plead that he should not be invited to SE again talkless of sitting on the bench. Of all players this is what you people are promoting and you want Nigeria football to move forward.
Our nation is dying, before granting interviews please be sure of what you’re promoting. CS you have a major part role to play in the country’s sports sector, so do well to only grant interviews on merit before we start suspecting you of malpractices. @Moderator don’t hide the Truth.
